				<em>Bill of Rights</em>
			</div>
			<br/>
			
			<p>
				The following is a list of your rights if you participate in a research project in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Waikato. Please take the time to read this form carefully and to understand any accompanying information.
			</p>
			<p>
				As a research participant, you have the right:
			</p>
			<ul>
				<li>
					To be treated with respect and dignity in every phase of the research.
				</li>
				<li>				
					To be fully and clearly informed of all aspects of the research prior to becoming involved.
				</li>
				<li>	
					To enter into clear, informed, and written agreement with the researcher prior to becoming involved in the activity.  You should sense NO pressure, explicit or otherwise, to sign this contract.
				</li>
				<li>	
					To be treated with honesty, integrity, openness, and straightforwardness in all phases of the research, including a guarantee that you will not unknowingly be deceived during the course of the research.
				</li>
				<li>	
					To receive something in return for your time and energy.
				</li>
				<li>	
					To demand proof that an independent and competent ethical review of human rights and protections associated with the research has been successfully completed.
				</li>
				<li>	
					To demand complete personal confidentiality and privacy in any reports of the research unless you have explicitly negotiated otherwise.
				</li>
				<li>	
					To expect that your personal welfare is protected and promoted in all phases of the research, including knowing that no harm will come to you.
				</li>
				<li>	
					To be informed of the results of the research study in a language you understand.
				</li>
			</ul>
			<p>
				The contents of this bill were prepared by the University of Calgary who examined all of the relevant Ethical Standards from the Canadian Psychological Association's Code of Ethics for Psychologists, 1991 and rewrote these to be of relevance to research participants. 
			</p>
			<p>
				A description of the CPA Ethical Code and the CPA Ethical Standards relevant to each of these rights is available on-line if you would like to examine it.  The complete CPA Ethical Code can be found in Canadian Psychological Association "Companion manual for the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists" (1992).
